What are the uses of compressed air in industry?

Compressed air is widely used in industry, and it can be understood as a universal power source in the factory.

The most common use is to drive a variety of pneumatic tools, such as screws, grinding parts, cutting metal, these work can be completed by compressed air, safer and lighter than electricity. The second purpose is to transport materials, using air to transport powder or particles from one place to another, such as flour mills and cement factories. The third is the spraying operation, to the product surface spray paint or powder, compressed air can make the paint evenly attached to the object. The fourth is purging and cleaning, and the dust and impurities in the equipment and pipelines are blown clean with compressed air. The fifth is instrument control, many valves and automation devices rely on compressed air to switch and adjust. The sixth is clamping and handling. The mechanical arm grabs the parts and the conveyor belt fixes the workpiece. The compressed air is exerting force behind it.

How does the compressed air come from? This is about the air compressor. At present, there is a water-lubricated air compressor in the industry. The biggest difference between it and the traditional air compressor is that the running parts inside the machine do not use oil to reduce friction, but use water. Water inside the side of lubrication while taking away the heat generated by the operation, so out of the air is very clean, completely free of oil.

This water-lubricated air compressor is especially suitable for scenes with high air quality requirements, such as food processing lines, electronic component production, pharmaceutical packaging, etc. Once the air is mixed with oil, the product may be contaminated. Moreover, because the machine is lubricated with water, the vibration is small and the sound is low during operation, and there is no need to change the oil frequently in the later period, thus saving maintenance. In those absolutely can not let the oil touch the product on the production line, water lubricated air compressor has become a very common choice.
